Why do people care so much when things are reposted?

[adams]

Is it that big of a deal?

Not really... just as long as it hasn't been posted within a week or so...

I'll be the first to go with the obligatory, "This has been pointed out before" comment.

Can't people just not click on the thread if they've already seen that topic posted, and leave it for others who may not have seen the original thread. If you really don't like reposts, just let it drop away.

I agree. It gets old. However, whenever I see someone posting something that I just posted, it kinda annoys me.

Why doesn't anyone b1tch about all those CS threads?

 

[DaLeroy]

Sometimes it's a blessing when it's reposted. For example the Iomega 12x10x32 deal after New Year's. That thread is huge, read through it once, but that was a burden. Plus with the way deals are posted, three days later that post could be 10 pages back, maybe it was overlooked.

people get really pissed off... i don't understand why. I think they're just neffin' tho.

Wah, your probably right about that, some people will post about anything to get there post count to go up.

Who cares if something is a repost or not? Sure you can scream and say "Use the search! Use the search!" as many of you have and many more will, but you know what? Search can be a real pain. Like I just did a search for a post I know I posted yesterday using a keyword.. Hmmmmm.. interesting.... it comes up with nothing! and yes, i rechecked all the parameters for those who will say "You did it wrong.. Learn to use the search function"

Whats the big deal with reposts? It doesn't hurt anyone!
